Northern works for closed loop biodiesel production

A program at Montana State University-Northern is set to sell cooking oil to local restaurants. After the restaurants use the oil for cooking, it will be converted into fuel and will be given back to farmers who raised the oilseed so they can raise more crops.

"We have been engaged in many projects, but this is one I really applaud, " said Jessica Windy Boy, director of the Bioenergy Innovation and Testing Center at Montana State University-Northern. "It really does show the value of agriculture and fuel and the economy. "
